[Novalug] Anyone got the inside track on Google Chrome?

[Peter Larsen]

Not so sure myself.
Have anyone seen the EULA?

Interesting - sounds like they're becoming more and more the big bad
wolf they set out to conquer initially.

It is indeed fast, but it is a memory hog at times.  The whole "every 
tab a process" means that when you open 20 or so tabs...yikes!  But, 
that is to be expected I suppose.

It's really amazing at AJAX-y websites.  Gmail just flies as do some 
other heavy AJAX websites.  They definitely have a fast Javascript 
implementation.

And, I too am waiting for the Linux version...
